Two Manufacturers Expand Operations With Nitriding Systems

Nitriding systems have expanded the operations at two global companies: a gear manufacturer for the automotive industry and a fuel injection systems manufacturer for the marine machinery industry. In both cases, the systems will be integrated into existing installations in order to increase production capacity.

A Chinese gear manufacturer has added a fourth Nitrex nitriding furnace to its automated gear production, which includes the manufacturing of transmission gears, transfer case gears, synchronizers, and engine-gear rings for both local automotive OEMs and global markets.

“This expansion goes beyond capacity enhancement; it elevates the manufacturer’s in-house capabilities and tightens production controls,” said Tao Liu, sales manager at Nitrex China. “It allows the company to focus resources on driving innovation and sustainability across domestic and international vehicle markets, including the growing new energy vehicle (NEV) sector.”

A third Nitrex nitriding system has been installed at a manufacturer specializing in high-performance fuel injection systems for diesel engines in maritime vessels. The new NX-815 batch furnace with a 3300 lb. (1,500 kg) load capacity is specifically tailored for processing carbon steel and stainless steel parts and meets stringent requirements of the shipbuilding and industrial marine industries.

“As environmental regulations propel the shift towards alternative energy-powered ships, our advanced nitriding technologies play a crucial role. We are proud to support their expansion into stainless steel applications,” said Tao Liu.
